Following Unity's controversial decisions in 2023, the open-source Godot game engine experienced significant growth in adoption and community contributions. While Godot still lacks some of Unity's features, it offers sufficient functionality for many indie developers and provides the crucial advantage of being open-source, meaning developers truly own their tools. The engine has improved substantially with better 3D support, Vulkan compatibility, and console support through W4 Games. Developers appreciate Godot's flexibility and the security of open-source licensing, which prevents vendor lock-in situations like Unity's runtime fee controversy.

Two years after the Unity controversy, how are things going with Godot?

I used Godot for how intuitive it is. Although I do wish for a re-implementation of the node class.
